Experience Orb

Experience orbs are entities in Minecraft, appearing as glowing spheres that emit green and yellow light. They are primarily obtained by defeating mobs, mining ores, smelting items, breeding animals, fishing, and using grindstones. Experience orbs themselves have no direct effect on the player character, but they are a crucial resource for enhancing equipment. Players collect experience orbs to increase their experience levels, which they can then use at enchantment tables to enchant equipment, or at anvils to repair, rename, or combine enchantments on equipment. Experience orbs actively fly towards the player and disappear after a period of time. The size and intensity of color of an experience orb reflects the amount of experience it contains, with larger orbs generally containing more experience. In Java Edition, players drop experience orbs upon death, the value of which depends on the player's level, and which affects their death score. The acquisition and use of experience orbs are a fundamental part of the Minecraft game progression.
